Display notes on the right in Okular on Ubuntu

0

I use Okular in Ubuntu while reading pdfs to add or edit annotations. It lets you highlight text and add pop-up notes associated with the highlighted text. I think this is common functionality available in many pdf readers.

You usually view these notes by clicking on the highlight / underline and it displays it in a pop-up.

I wanted to know if there is a way (in Okular or any other reader) to display the notes you're making right next to the line where you've made the note, perhaps in the gutter at left / right of the displayed pdf page.

An illustration:

       |       pdf file        |
left   |                       | right 
gutter |       some text       | gutter
       |   some more text      |  _______________________________
       | s͟o͟m͟e͟t͟h͟i͟n͟g͟ ͟u͟n͟d͟e͟r͟l͟i͟n͟e͟d͟  | | Note related to the underline |
       |   some more text      |  ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ 
       |                       |

I'm using Ubuntu, but any reader on any platform which does this would be a good start to find similar functionality in other readers – Peeyush Kushwaha – 2019-10-01T00:37:39.517
